Oshi no Ko chapter 163 is set to be released on Thursday, October 24, 2024. Following the release of chapter 162, the manga series went on a two-week break, leaving fans eager for what was going to happen next in the series. Surprisingly, right after a week passed, the manga announced the release date for its final chapter.
The previous chapter saw both Aqua Hoshino and Hikaru Kamiki start sinking into the water body. Hikaru had seemingly hit his head somewhere. In addition, he was also depicted as being pulled down by a shadowy Gorou Amamiya. As for Aqua, he deduced that he had reincarnated as Ruby's twin to protect her.

What to expect from Oshi no Ko chapter 163 spoilers?
Crow Girl could save Aqua Hoshino from drowning
While it is true that the Oshi no Ko manga is set to end in four chapters, it does not necessarily have to mean that the protagonist will pass away. In addition, even if the reason behind Aqua Hoshino's reincarnation was to protect Ruby, there is no reason why he should perish in the process.
Therefore, the upcoming manga chapter could see Crow Girl rescue Aqua Hoshino from drowning in the water body. She was previously hinted as the character responsible for Aqua and Ruby's reincarnation. Hence, saving Aqua should be a piece of cake for her.
Oshi no Ko manga could feature a timeskip hospital scene
There is a chance that the Oshi no Ko manga will feature a timeskip in the next chapter. While fans would want to witness someone saving Aqua, the manga could skip to the part where he has already been transferred to a hospital. Such developments often see the person in question stay in a coma and only come to consciousness later.
Therefore, the upcoming chapter could focus on Ruby Hoshino, Kana Arima, Akane Kurokawa, and others who could be left worried sick about Aqua Hoshino's condition. Hopefully, the manga will see Aqua return to his normal self by the end of the chapter.
Ruby Hoshino and others could learn about Aqua and Hikaru's death
While fans can stay hopeful about Aqua Hoshino's survival, there still remains a chance that the protagonist could pass away. Aqua had always yearned to enact revenge upon his father; hence, his survival could essentially ruin his sacrificial moment in the previous two chapters.
If that is the case, Aqua could pass away alongside Hikaru Kamiki. Such a development should shift the manga's focus to Ruby Hoshino, who could be left depressed after experiencing her brother's death twice, once through Gorou and another through Aqua. Similarly, the manga could also show how Akane Kurokawa and Kana Arima react to Aqua's death. Both characters were very close to him and could be drastically affected by the news.
